Hi Anne --
Might be part of Win98SE because I can do the "Sort by Name" trick,
too. On the other hand, I have installed TweakUI so maybe that's where
it comes from.
I don't remember if the basic version of Win98 lets you sort by
favorites by name and, since I jumped straight from WFW3.11 to Win98,
I haven't a clue about Win95.
Cheers, Phil
ALPHABETIZING FAVORITES
Several people have posted requests for help on this topic lately; I
replied to them individually, but now think the problem might be
widespread enough to warrant my sending it for public posting.
1. I'm running on Win98 SE platform; and when I click on Start
button, then right-click on the Favorites list that drops down, I can
select "Sort by Name" near the bottom of the favorites list.
However, I don't really know whether this feature is native to Win98
or a feature of some utility I've added. Moreover, it does not seem
to create a global change.
2. To do that, open your browser and click on Favorites; select
"Organize Favorites."
This brings up a two-paned box, with the right-hand pane containing a
list of all the favorites. In all likelihood, the earliest entries
will be in alphabetic order; but grouped together in random order at
the end of the list will be all more recent entries. Left-click on
one of these--and hold the left mousekey down as you move the black
horizontal line that appears in lieu of its title to the desired
position . Then lift the left finger, and watch the folder jump into
place.
This is a bit tedious; for you must do it for every bookmark that's
out of place;
but if you discipline yourself to make this a regular housecleaning
job, you'll never have so many to do at one time again. I try hard to
remember to do it to all recently-added bookmarks about once a week,
while it is still a five-minute job.
HTH,
Anne Nolen
